'After the Ottomans: Genocide's Long Shadow and Armenian Resilience' is a highly relevant book whose publication in the year of the Republic of Turkey's centenary could not have been more timely. The contributions are a reminder against genocide silence and denial, giving a voice to the all too often marginalized, showing that Armenians were not only victims of the genocide, but also survivors and agents of their history, who are in search of justice.
